I am writing to express my absolute fury regarding the Trump Administration’s continued, systematic exploitation of the "data broker loophole." It is a direct, nuclear assault on the Fourth Amendment when federal agencies—including the FBI, DHS, and now the Treasury—bypass the Bill of Rights by simply purchasing the private, sensitive data of American citizens.
The government is essentially "laundering" our lives through third-party middlemen. If the police need a warrant to search my home, they must be required to obtain a warrant to track my movements via GPS history or sift through my financial records. The Treasury’s recent proposal to expand its "Systems of Records" (SORN) to cross-match the bank accounts, Social Security numbers, and income data of millions is a chilling escalation of state surveillance that treats every American as a suspect-in-waiting.
I demand you take immediate, aggressive action to:
- Pass the Fourth Amendment Is Not For Sale Act: Close the loophole that allows the government to buy its way around warrant requirements once and for all.
- Kill the Treasury’s Data Expansion: Block any proposal that seeks to centralize and share Americans’ private financial information across 21 different categories of entities.
- Support the Online Privacy Act of 2026 (H.R. 8014): Establish a Digital Privacy Agency and codify strict data minimization standards that prohibit the collection of personal data without explicit, informed consent.
The era of the government acting as a customer for our stolen privacy must end. This is not a request for a "review", it is a demand for a total halt to this unconstitutional overreach. I am watching your voting record closely, and I expect a response from you detailing exactly how you will stop this administration from treating the Constitution as a suggestion.
